International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) phenotypic database

The International Journal of Systematic and
Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) is the official publication of the
International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes and the Bacteriology and
Applied Microbiology Division of the International Union of Microbiological
Societies, and the official journal of record for novel bacterial and archaeal
taxa (http://ijs.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem). We manually searched
IJSEM articles to extract phenotypic, metabolic and environmental tolerance data
of bacterial strains from 2004 to 2014.

 We focused on the most recent entries
as they presumably used standardized and state-of-the-art methods, up-to-date
taxonomic nomenclature, most strains had easily retrievable 16S rRNA gene sequence
data, and many strains also had publicly available genome sequence data
available. Data was manually
collected using Google Forms as variable structure of the articles and
inconsistent reporting of relevant information precluded the use of automatic
text parsing algorithms.

《国际系统与进化微生物学杂志》（IJSEM）系国际原核生物系统学委员会及国际微生物学会联合会细菌学与应用微生物学分会的官方出版物，同时也是新型细菌与古菌分类单元的官方记录期刊（http://ijs.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem）。本研究通过人工检索IJSEM文章，提取了2004年至2014年间细菌菌株的表型、代谢和环境耐受性数据。我们专注于最新的条目，因为它们可能采用了标准化且处于技术前沿的方法、最新的分类学命名法，大多数菌株均具有易于检索的16S rRNA基因序列数据，许多菌株还提供了公开可用的基因组序列数据。由于文章结构的可变性和相关信息报告的不一致性，我们采用了Google Forms进行数据的人工收集，以避免自动文本解析算法的使用。
